Obituaries Sandra Warren, 75, Bridport

BRIDPORT — Sandra G. Warren, 75, died Monday, Feb. 18, 2013, at Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, Middlebury.

Born Aug. 10, 1937, in Troy, N.Y., she was the daughter of the late Thomas J. and Edna G. (Watson) Bell.

Sandra was a graduate of Mount Kisco High School, Mount Kisco, N.Y., class of 1955, and Plattsburgh University, class of 1959, where she received her BSN. Sandra practiced nursing for over 20 years at Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Middlebury, retiring in 1997. Always considering the needs of others before herself, she was a very giving and generous person.

She was a resident of Bridport for over 40 years. She enjoyed fishing on Lake Champlain and the companionship and motivation of her grandchildren.

Family members include two sons, Richard E. Warren Jr. and his companion, Alisa, of Long Island,

N.Y., and Andrew Eric Warren and his wife, Michele, of Bridport;; one daughter, Deborah G. Laframboise and her husband, Leon, of Addison;; one brother, Thomas Bell II of Port Orange, Fla.;; one sister, Nancy Bell of Orlando, Fla.;; eight grandchildren, Andrea Warren, Nathan Warren, Samuel Warren, Amanda Laframboise, Caryn Drake, Christopher “C.J.” O’Sullivan, Richard O’Sullivan, and Kathryn O’Sullivan;; and two great-­grandchildren, Olivia and Ilsa Drake.

Sandra was predeceased by her husband, Richard E. Warren, who died Feb. 9, 1991;; by a grandson, Nicholas A. Warren;; and by a brother, Kenneth Bell.

A memorial service will be conducted at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013, at the Bridport Congregational Church with the Rev. Tim Franklin, pastor, officiating.

There will be no calling hours.

The family suggests that memo-­ rial contributions be made to Bridport Congregational Church,

I am a cute and cuddly cat.

I am gray with white paws. I am from the Homeward Bound Animal Shelter. My owners give me lots of love.

I love to go outside! I am very good about going inside, most of the time. I come when my owners whistle. They think I act like a puppy when I do that. Sometimes, I feel like a jungle cat when I stalk my prey (a.k.a. tiny bugs).

Recently I said my first word, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ellen.â&#x20AC;? Ellen is one of my owners. I said it over and over again. I love to play with pencils. Maybe I will learn to write my name.

I turned one in August 2012.

I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to wet food but I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to dry food. Every evening when I come inside from my adventures outside, I instantly flop down on my bed and take 30 winks.

Seeking Volunteer Drivers Amistad (Friendship, in Spanish) is a volunteer driver network which was set up through the Addison County Farm Worker Coalition. They provide much needed transportation for farm workers and their families living and working on our local dairy farms. Transportation is primarily for medical appointments to the Open Door Clinic and other medical facilities in the area, with occasional trips to go shopping, to the bank or to social functions. Volunteers are encouraged to provide a ride at least once per month and an ability to speak some Spanish is helpful, but not necessary. Hours are generally during week days or on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, when the Clinic is open. For more information or if you would like to volunteer, please call 388-7044.
